Thanks to Alyx and Richard from NC for their suggestions this week! Let's learn about rabbits! Further reading: Why your pet rabbit is more docile than its wild relative FOUND: Small enigmatic rabbit with black tail lost to science for more than 120 years rediscovered hopping around mountain range in Mexico The Omiltemi cottontail rabbit, as caught on a camera trap [photo taken from second article linked above]: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we're going to talk about bunnies, and also learn about how a wild animal differs from its domesticated counterpart. Thanks to Alyx for suggesting this excellent topic. Thanks also to Richard from NC who alerted me to a rediscovered rabbit we'll discuss too. Thanks for all the well wishes in the last few weeks about my surgery. It went just fine and all I have now is a cool-looking new scar, although I was seriously hoarse for about a week. It's pretty weather here in East Tennessee and officially it's spring in the northern hemisphere, so let's talk about some springtime bunnies! Collectively rabbits and hares are called leporids after their family, Leporidae. Leporids are famous for hopping instead of walking, and they're able to do so because their hind legs are longer than their front legs and have specialized ankle joints. Ancestors of leporids developed this ankle as much as 53 million years ago, but their legs were much shorter so they probably ran instead of hopped. Hares have longer legs than rabbits and can run faster as a result, but both rabbits and hares are known for their ability to bound at high speeds. When a rabbit or hare runs, it pushes off from the ground with the tips of its long hind toes, and its toes are connected with webbed skin so they can't spread apart. If the toes did spread apart, they would be more likely to get injured. Rabbits and hares also don't have paw pads like dogs and cats do. The bottom of its foot is covered with dense, coarse fur that protects the toes from injury. Its long claws help it get a good purchase on the ground so its feet won't slip. Leporids eat plants, including grass, weeds, twigs, and bark. Animals that eat grass and other tough plants have specialized digestive systems so they can extract as many nutrients from the plants as possible. Many animals swallow the plants, digest them for a while, then bring up cuds of plants and water to chew more thoroughly. Rabbits and hares don't chew their cud in that way, but they do have a system that allows them to twice-digest the plants they eat. After a leporid eats some plants, the plant pieces go into the stomach, naturally, and then travel into the first part of the large intestine, called the cecum. The cecum separates the softer parts of the plants from the harder, less digestible parts. The hard parts are compressed into hard pellets that the rabbit poops out. But the soft parts of the plants, which are most nutritious, develop into softer pellets. These are called cecotropes, and as soon as the rabbit poops out the cecotropes, it immediately eats them again. This allows the digestive system to get a second round to extract more nutrients from the plants. Hares aren't domesticated, but rabbits have probably been domesticated many times in different places over the last several thousand years, first for food and fur, and then as pets. The domesticated rabbit we have today is descended from the European rabbit, also called the cony. If other species of rabbit were ever domesticated, we don't have record of it. The rabbit has also been introduced into the wild in places it has no business to be, like Australia, where it's an invasive species. You know where else the European rabbit has been introduced? The British Isles. It's native to mainland Europe, not England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and smaller islands nearby. Historians think the rabbit was introduced to England soon after the year 1066,

Know a writer or someone who wants to be a writer? Then forward this post to them and invite them to listen to our writers podcast. Thank you!Two Moore Books, LLC does not receive financial compensation for promoting the below businesses and websites. We are speaking to our specific experiences. Your mileage may vary.In Episode 214 of our lovely award-winning podcast, we had another great week with a lot of different moving parts:You can now find our books on the shelves at Thistle and Nightshade, a wonder little bookstore in Reno, Nevada. Our sincere appreciation to Alyx (pictured) and Rhiannon for adding us to their expansive and varied inventory. You can find Thistle and Nightside in northwest Reno off Mae Anne Avenue. Definitely worth your time!We announced at the last meeting of the Sierra Arts Literary Community that we are offering our podcast and video services to writers. We're partnering with the Sierra Arts Foundation (SAF) to release a weekly podcast and video featuring a Sierra Nevada writer and their upcoming book. We know from our experience that marketing is a steep climb for independent writers, so we're hoping our efforts with writers and the SAF will elevate the visibility of Northern Nevada's excellent writers. We hope to start in May.Happy birthday to CC's Dad and Happy Employee Appreciate Day (Friday), and a special hello to International Women's Day. CC joined 44 other powerful women gathered on the Women's Podcasting Network to discuss their individual podcasts and respective businesses. CC learned a lot about how women around the road are making a difference in the world (like her!).We participated in the Smashwords “25% off ebook sale” (our books always seem to be on sale), and we began the registration process for this year's Carson Farmers Market. And somehow we managed to advance our writing projects. CC is still untying the Gordian knot that is her VC Ghost romance, and I passed 40K words on the third book of the “Sheriff in Nevada” series.We rejiggered our production schedule because the CFO for Two Moore Books, LLC (who is me) got grouchy about business expenditures.

They're almost as important as the books, and they are essential to a writer's success, whether they are mainstream or independent writers. We talked about the impact and necessity of reviews, and we outlined the two Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) websites we checked out: Book Sirens and Net Galley. We also begged our readers to leave reviews because feedback makes us better human beings and better writers.Is that all? Is that enough? (Grin) I think so.One last thing: please buy direct from us and help support the arts (and a couple of starving writers :))Have a listen and let us know what you think. TIA!

Thanks to Alyx for this week's suggestion, the cookie cutter shark! Further reading: If You Give a Shark a Cookie The business end of the cookie cutter shark: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we're going to learn about a little shark suggested by Alyx, but first let's learn about something else that might be related to the shark. In the 1970s, the U.S. Navy started having trouble with the navigation of their submarines. The Ohio-class submarine had what was called a sonar dome that was filled with oil, and the oil helped transmit sound. But repeatedly the subs would lose navigation abilities, and investigations turned up strange chunks removed from the electric cables, the oil lines, the sound probes, and the sonar dome itself—anywhere made of rubber that was soft enough for what looked like a hole saw to damage. The Navy thought they were dealing with a state-of-the-art weapon. The United States and the former Soviet Union were bitter enemies, so the Navy thought the USSR had invented a technologically sophisticated underwater stealth drone of some kind that could damage the subs and leave no trace—nothing but circular chunks removed from the sonar dome and its components. Thirty submarines were damaged before the Navy figured out the cause. It wasn't a super-secret weapon at all. It was just a little fish called the cookie-cutter shark. The cookie cutter shark doesn't look very scary. It only grows 22 inches long at most, or 56 cm, and is brown in color. It has lots of very sharp evenly spaced teeth on its lower jaw, but compared to a great white shark, it's nothing to worry about. But somehow it was able to disable 30 of the world's most advanced submarines at the time. That's because of how the cookie cutter shark eats, which is also how it gets its name. It picks a target fish or some other animal, such as a whale or a seal, or possibly the sonar dome of an Ohio-class submarine, and sneaks up to it. It's just a little fish and its coloration helps it blend in with its surroundings, so most animals barely notice it. It has lips that act like a suction cup, so quick as a wink it sticks itself to the animal, bites down, and spins around. In moments it's cut a circular chunk out of the animal's side like a horrible cookie, which it swallows, and by the time the animal even realizes it's hurt, the cookie cutter shark is long gone. The shark used to be called the cigar shark because of its shape. It wasn't until 1971 that experts realized how the cookie cutter shark eats. Until then the circular wounds on fish and whales and other animals were thought to be from lamprey bites or from some kind of parasite. The cookie cutter shark does have teeth in its upper jaw but they're much smaller than the lower teeth. When it sheds its lower teeth to replace them, instead of shedding just one tooth, it sheds them all at once. Like most sharks, it swallows its old teeth so it can reuse the calcium to grow new teeth. The shark also has photophores on the underside of its body that glow greenish, which is a common way that some fish escape predators from below. A big fish looking up toward the surface of the water high above it sees a lot of light shining down from the sun, so a fish with a glowing underside just blends in. But in the case of the cookie cutter shark, it has a strip of skin on its underside without photophores, and from below that strip shows up. It's a sort of collar that's actually darker brown than the rest of the fish. It looks, in fact, like a tiny fish silhouetted against the surface. The would-be predator fish approaches, expecting an easy meal. Instead, the cookie cutter shark darts around and takes a big bite out of the fish, then takes off. It's a remarkably fast swimmer, but most of the time it hangs almost motionless in the water waiting for another animal to approach.

SAP and Enterprise Trends Podcasts from Jon Reed (@jonerp) of diginomica.com
On the final media/analyst day of UiPath Forward, Jon sat down with diginomica's own Alyx Macqueen, who makes their podcast series debut. Macqueen has been tracking UiPath closely, but given the AI agents fanfare and CEO Daniel Dines proclaiming an "act two" for the company, much has changed. What does this mean for customers, and what did we learn on the show floor? Macqueen shares their take, and we compare notes on our interviews and what we found pressing into the change from RPA to agentic AI - and where customers are coming from. We also explain why UiPath's keynotes were a cut above what we've heard this event season. Note: we had a bit of background noise to contend with here, some of that has been edited in post production.
